Arsenal's first goal is a relief for Barcelona, because Arsenal not only has the ability to control the ball is not much worse than them, but also has a strong counterattack ability, and the general team game, Barcelona is a big press, pressing the opponent near the penalty area to attack, quanBEn, but in the face of Arsenal's super fast speed and style of play, Guardiola did not dare to let the back line press crazy before the game, but adopted the strategy of steadily advancing three lines when there is a ball, and holding the half court when there is no ball, If this strategy can be implemented well, Barcelona will use their stronger control than Arsenal to win, but they conceded a goal in the first minute, and the opponent's goal was played so beautifully, so that Barcelona immediately aroused the desire to win, and they tried to get an away goal even if they didn't strive for victory. Know that in the knockout round, one away goal is equivalent to one and a half home goals.

Barcelona began to press forward, in this team, most of the players are products of La Masia's academy, 6 of today's 11 people are from La Masia, at most, there are almost ** Barcelona's own players, their cooperation and tactical awareness on the field are easy to communicate, once the midfield commander Xavi presses forward, the others are like an avalanche, and the momentum is pressed up from the three lines of the front, middle and back.

Arsenal know that they are not as good as Barcelona in controlling the ball, and this is the only team in Europe that puts them at a disadvantage in this regard, before the game, Professor Wenger has decided to give up part of the space, the space is narrow, it can increase the difficulty of Barcelona's passing and receiving the ball, to a certain extent, increase Barcelona's mistakes, improve Arsenal's chances of possession and counterattack, and now scoring in one minute makes the tactics formulated by the professor more perfect.

The average team will have the feeling that there is nowhere to eat when facing the opposition's dense defense, but Barcelona is different from the vast majority of teams because they have Xavi, Messi and Iniesta.

Barcelona's "ventilator" and "midfielder's lungs" Xavi's passing has been perfected and perfected, and he is like having eyes all over his body, and he can perceive the opponent's subtle mistakes and every gap.

His threading can make his teammates who are pressing down in an orderly, fast and not chaotic way, and everyone's role and potential can be maximized. His passing between lightning and flint can turn the opponent's impregnable defense into a tofu scum project of the Celestial Empire in an instant.

Iniesta has the ability to pass and control the ball that is not inferior to Xavi, and he also has the ability to break through that Xavi does not have, his passing is not as good as Messi in Barcelona, because the speed is not fast enough, but it is definitely the second, Xavi and Iniesta's almost perfect dream midfield drives the whole team to run smoothly, so that the opponent can only look at the ball and sigh.

When the opponent is too strong, Iniesta and Xavi can't find the opponent's vacancy, Messi will appear, the second star in the world only Li Huan has an extraordinary ability to control the center of gravity, his short stature, but extremely explosive, just like Alto has a Mercedes-Benz engine, ordinary people can't prevent it at all, and he breaks through a small ant hole that often becomes the opponent's defense.

With these three players, Barcelona can press the opposition defensive formation through constant passing and player movement. Compress the opponent's semi-circular defensive formation from the front of the penalty area to the midfield line into a slender strip formation, and then make the opponent's defenders move to both sides through the personal breakthroughs of Iniesta and Messi on both sides. Barcelona shifted to the middle to form a goal or a straight pass behind the opponent (because the defense line is thin, so it is easy to penetrate) to form a single knife.

Arsene Wenger couldn't be more familiar with Barcelona's style of play, because Arsenal's style of play is also very similar to this, so the professor also knows what to use to deal with it.

Barcelona's dozens of feet are like a beautiful dragon slaying in Go, how many hands are interlocked in the early stage, and they are all holding the opponent's nose step by step to a dead end and are powerless to resist. So the best thing to do is not to fight back when the opponent is about to finish, by then it is too late, the best thing to do is to foul Barcelona directly in the middle of the layout and let them start from scratch. Over time, Barcelona's rhythm will be broken, and they will become impetuous, impatient in attack, make mistakes in defense, and finally be defeated by weak teams.

So when Barcelona began to exert force after conceding the goal, Arsenal used fouls near the center circle to stop Barcelona, and repeatedly disrupted Barcelona's offensive rhythm by deliberately committing fouls in non-critical areas, many of which were between eating cards and not eating cards, but the referee considered that the position of the foul was close to the center circle, which had little impact on the outcome of the game, and was unwilling to play cards. In this way, Arsenal made Barca's attack like a crush, always ending before it even started.

After Arsenal's goal, Barcelona patiently played for half an hour, but the number of free kicks and the number of fouls committed by Arsenal gradually increased, and the score did not change at all.

Barcelona was a little impetuous, and Arsenal seized the opportunity to play a few counterattacks, almost expanding the score again, and Barcelona occupied the advantage of possession, but the most threatening attack was Arsenal, Barcelona's possession was basically carried out outside the 30-meter danger zone, whenever they wanted to attack, Arsenal's fouls would always come as scheduled, eliminating Barcelona's attack invisibly. What especially makes Barcelona angry is that Li Huan, who serves as a fullback, also sweeps in the midfield from time to time, and almost the right side of the entire penalty area has become his sphere of influence, Iniesta's speed is not fast, and Li Huan is a speed superman, in the face of experienced Li Huan, Iniesta's passing skills cannot be shown, and he can only watch Li Huan crisscross on the right side and be invincible.

After Guardiola coached Barcelona for two years, he was no longer the junior brother who held Hiddink's hand and congratulated him in advance, he had a lot of clinical experience, and when he saw this situation, he immediately signaled Messi to retreat, Villa and Iniesta pressed forward, Messi became a shadow striker, almost a forward midfielder, Iniesta and Villa leaned towards the middle, avoiding the opponent's fullback and midfielder.

This change of Guardiola has a great impact on the game, after Messi retreated, he had more contact with his backfield players, especially Xavi, and had more opportunities to get the ball, and his breakthrough made Arsenal's players feel more and more difficult to deal with, and after Messi had a certain amount of sprint space, the foul on Messi was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, which made Arsenal's defensive pressure on the back line increase sharply.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Messi suddenly exerted his strength, he shuttled through the crowd like a fast-swimming electron, and the Arsenal players did not touch Messi who was dodging left and right in a row, and in a blink of an eye, Messi was about to break through to the top of the penalty area.

Usually at this time, Messi will choose to pass, Messi's breakthrough and ball sharing are a major feature of Barcelona's attack. But today's Messi did not break through the defender Alexander. Song, directly hit the door.

Messi's legs are short and the range of action is small, but the strength is not small, because Messi's breakthrough in front of him has always been a pass, and Song didn't think of stretching out his foot to block, Almunia had inertial thinking, and he didn't expect Messi to shoot suddenly this time, he couldn't react, and the ball flew into the net from Almunia's hand.

1：1。

Messi scored his first goal in England, after the goal, Messi opened his mouth excitedly, waved his hands, and slapped his chest from time to time, rushed to the fan stands and shouted wildly, venting his frustration, and attacking the curse, Messi was a little excited and couldn't help himself.

The Arsenal fans were stunned by Messi's goal, and they didn't expect that Barcelona, which had been playing very complicated, would suddenly shoot from a distance.

The Barcelona fans were also stunned, they had come infinitely close to scoring many times before, but they always missed the goal, but this time they didn't think about scoring at all, and the ball flew into the net.

After the commentator was stunned for 0.1 seconds, his professional habits immediately made him exclaim: "Beautiful! Pretty! Messi's long-range shot, a long-range shot after connecting three people, made Song stunned, caught Almunia off guard, and the ball went in! 1:1, this score is beneficial to Barcelona, and being able to get an away goal is equivalent to a reassuring pill for Barcelona, even if it loses in the end, Barcelona can accept it, because an away goal is equivalent to two home goals...... The tide of the game has changed and now it's up to Arsenal to play their cards. ”

The professor made a pause and beat his chest, this goal is not impossible to save, as long as the goalkeeper is replaced by Cassie and Cech, or even the opponent's Valdés, this goal does not dare to say that it can be scored, but standing in front of the Arsenal goal is Almunia, the Frenchman nicknamed Amu is very similar to his nickname, lacking aura, lacking high-level play, if it is not for the excellent back line, he does not know how much ugliness he will have in a season.

Pep Guardiola had a smile on his face, the tactical changes he made before the game finally worked, they lost to Arsenal last season, and after that, he analysed those two games a hundred times, which he forced himself to do, only then can he know all the characteristics of Arsenal, because he knows that Arsenal are now the last obstacle for Barcelona to dominate Europe, and if this obstacle is removed, Barcelona will be able to win the Champions League, otherwise they will always have to win La Liga.
